The Power of Podcasting! Marc who manages bands and a label is creating a niche in a niche by getting a waive of the copyrights to some songs on the smaller labels. He exposed me to two great examples.
Mocean (pronounced Motion) Worker is a jazzy cat tutored from a fine lineage of some of jazz & r&b’s best producers. It shows. His infectious hit “Chick a Boom Boom Boom” on his new album “Enter the MOWO” will get you up from your seat. This is out on his own label (In the show I note that it’s out on the Palm label - that was his previous album.) You can find out more about him on his website and be sure to catch the yuck-a-minute video for “Chick a Boom Boom Boom".
Then we have a new band right off of Melrose Avenue circa 1980 - Manda and the Marbles. They could have opened for the GoGo’s. This hit is “Ode to Rock” from their album “Angels with Dirty Faces” Ha! It’s a blast. Their album launches February 22 and you can find out all about them on their website.
Many thanks Marc. He promises more to come.
